Remarks
If setting this property, the array must be one-dimensional and must have exactly 13 elements. Calendar objects accommodate calendars with 13 months.
If the custom pattern includes the format pattern "MMMM", DateTime.ToString displays the value of MonthNames in place of the "MMMM" in the format pattern.
This property is affected if the value of the Calendar property changes.
